More About Our Hospice Care at Home

What is Hospice Care?

Hospice care is a special type of care for people with serious illnesses who are nearing the end of their lives. It focuses on comfort, respect, and quality of life when treatments to cure the disease are no longer an option, and the person is expected to live for about six months or less.

Hospice care focuses on symptom management, emotional support, and assistance with daily tasks. It can be administered in various settings, including at home, in a care facility, or in a hospital. The primary objective is to prioritize the individual’s comfort rather than seeking a cure for the illness.

Hospice Misconceptions: Why Knowledge is Key to Quality Care

The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization stipulates that in 2018, 40% of patients who signed up for hospice care just obtained it for less than 14 days, and 30% of those only received it for less than 7 days. This contradicts the substantial evidence indicating that the majority of Americans prefer to die at home or in a home-like environment, in order to ensure proper pain and symptom management, prevent unwarranted prolongation of the dying process, attain a sense of control, and enhance their relationships with family and friends.

While the reasons for these delays are complex, the primary barriers are rooted in misconceptions held by patients, families, and healthcare providers alike. These enduring myths often prevent people from accessing the full benefits of hospice care when they need it most.

How We Help

Planning for the end of life process is an overwhelming experience for all who are affected. For patients, the phase is vital as they might experience emotional turbulence unless the situation is not wisely handled, while their family members may feel exhausted due to burn-out.

What Hospice Home Care Means for Tampa Families

Caring for your loved one who is terminally ill can be emotionally stressful. Unfortunately, the burden can fall heavily on the ones caring for elderly or ill parents. The family members may experience distress and uncertainty during this phase.

We stay in touch by giving regular updates, keeping an eye on changing needs, and giving families the emotional space they need to be there for each other during this time.

Planning for Home Hospice Care in Tampa

Beyond medical equipment and other considerations for comfort and entertainment, there are few more aspects of at-home hospice care to consider.

For the safety of both patients and caregivers:

  • Take out rugs and other things that could trip you in hallways and rooms.
  • Get night lights for the hallways and bathrooms.
  • Put down bath mats that don’t slip.
  • Consider installing grab bars or handrails, and make sure they comply with safety rules.
  • Make space for medical tools.
  • Arrange to have a bed that can be adjustable in height (i.e. a hospital bed).

If you are the family caretaker, consider these:

  • Create a folder for medical records and phone numbers.
  • As long as you and your loved one are okay with it, let family and friends come over.
  • Volunteers can help with errands, keep you company, and more.
  • Your hospice team can help you keep track of and organize your medicines.
  • You can write an advance directive, also called a living will.

These extra steps make sure that hospice care and medical equipment are available at home when you need them. These considerations will help your loved one make a smooth and easy transition.
